The Lyles Foundation The Lyles Foundation, a support

organization of the Central Valley Community Foundation, promotes philanthropy in higher education, the arts, culture, youth, and ministry to ensure a better future for all.

Lyles Diversified, a successful family-owned construction and engineering firm, has deep roots in the Central Valley —

building projects that have created prosperity for many.

The Lyles Foundation, a support organization of the Central Valley Community Foundation, has invested millions of dollars to benefit education, the arts, and social-service agencies in the Valley.

A core priority remains the Lyles College of Engineering at California State University, Fresno — a passion for family partner and respected community philanthropist Bill Lyles. “Nurturing smart, talented, and skilled engineers is one of the best ways I know to expand opportunity in the Valley, and our foundation is pleased to partner with Fresno State,” he said.

A director emeritus of the Central Valley Community Foundation, Lyles takes pride in his family’s pivotal role in the organization. Said Bill, “Having a strong Community Foundation helps us do a better job and leverage our family philanthropy to invest effectively in areas we care about deeply.”
